Fire Features & Outdoor Living · Stratham, NH
Fire Features & Outdoor Living in Stratham, New Hampshire.
Stratham is rolling former farmland dropping to the tidal Squamscott, and that shapes every decision here. We build fire features & outdoor living on glacial till on the hills, detailed for the custom colonials and estate homes on former farm parcels they sit beside — hand-set, drainage-first, and made to look like they were always part of the property.
Working from a plan in Stratham
If you are coming to us with a plan already drawn, we build it as drawn. We read grading and layout sheets fluently, hold the detail, and keep the designer informed at each milestone — the way we work with Jonathan Keep Landscape Design across New Hampshire.
Outdoor living in Stratham
Stratham’s marine clay in the low ground is unforgiving — walls here get real drainage and a proper footing or they move, and we build accordingly.
The same crew builds the seat walls, the grill surround, the steps, and the terrace — in Stratham Hill, Stratham Center, and Bunker Hill and across town — so the stone matches and one company owns how the finished room reads.
Our footprint around Stratham
Stratham sits in Rockingham County, and most weeks we are somewhere in this pocket of NH Seacoast — which means shorter travel, faster site visits, and a crew that already knows how ground behaves around here.
Where the stone comes from
We buy from New England quarries and yards we have used for years, and we hand-pick rather than take a pallet sight unseen. For Stratham, that usually means matching color and texture to the custom colonials and estate homes on former farm parcels already on the street.
Built to take real fire, for real years
A fire feature is a masonry structure, not decoration. We build on a footing carried below frost — which on glacial till on the hills, marine clay in the low ground near the river means going deeper than most expect — and line the core so the visible fieldstone or granite never takes the thermal punishment directly. That is why ours do not spall and crack after two winters.
Wood, gas, or a fire bowl: we run sleeves and gas lines during the build, and face the feature to suit the custom colonials and estate homes on former farm parcels it belongs to.

Questions
Fire Features & Outdoor Living in Stratham, answered.
Yes. Cleiton Landscape & Masonry builds fire features & outdoor living throughout Stratham — from Stratham Hill, Stratham Center, and Bunker Hill — and across NH Seacoast, and has since 2008. We’re licensed and insured, we work across New Hampshire, and we build from architectural plans with millimeter precision.
Most residential work runs one to three weeks on site, depending on size, access, and how much excavation glacial till on the hills demands. You get a real schedule before we start, and we hold it — including the clean-up at the end of each day.
Wood gives you the fire people actually want to sit around; gas gives you instant on-and-off and no smoke management. We build both — and if you are undecided, we can run the gas line during construction so the option stays open.
Stratham’s marine clay in the low ground is unforgiving — walls here get real drainage and a proper footing or they move, and we build accordingly. We handle the local checks that go with that as part of the project rather than leaving them to you.
